I went to the Mad Men premiere this week and I did really well at it. I like the show so to get to meet the cast and add some autographs to my collection is always a treat. The whole cast is really nice and good about signing at events. The only person who didn't sign the whole night was Jessica Pare (and I think she just doesn't like crowds because she signs for me whenever it is low key). But at the premiere I filled up two Mad Men logo cast pieces with a ton of names, and also got some cool individuals and combo shot done.
Here's my logo cast pieces one is a 12x18 one is a 11x14:
Here's my seven person cast shot, I got everyone but Jared Harris on it (he did not come):
Robert Morse was the first to arrive and sign. Every time I've seen him he has been a really nice man. He came over and said, "The last time I signed like this that fellow from Breaking Bad [Bryan Cranston] started signing fifty feet away from me and everyone ran away from me and went down by him". I was there that night . . . and I was one of the people who did that. Sorry Robert :)
Christopher Stanley came right over when we called. I added him to my two cast pieces.
Rich Somer also is someone who seems really nice, he always comes right over when you ask him for an autograph. I added him to both my cast pieces.
Vincent Kartheiser came over and signed for the entire fan area. I added him to my two logo shots, and also got him on my seven person shot.
I don't know why but when I see John Slattery in person I always think of his character on 30 Rock: Steve Austin. In my opinion he is the nicest Mad Men cast member. He spends a lot of time with the fans and always seems to be happy when he does it.
Jon Hamm has gotten much better about signing in the last year or so. He used to be tough, but every time I have seen him in the last year he seems really happy to sign and that is good for me because I like his character on the show and I loved The Town.
I got John and Jon on one individual each and completed a combo of the two of them:
Elisabeth Moss is decent about signing. Some times I've seen her not do it, but then other times she signs a lot. I didn't have much for her today, and got her on my cast shot and a combo shot of her and Christina.
Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner is also really nice, and happily signed my two logo cast pieces.
The crowd got a little crazy when January Jones and Christina Hendricks signed. But luckily they both seem used to it and just keep signing despite the madness. January is one of my favorites, so I'm always happy to see her. I got her on some individuals and my cast shot and I finally got a picture with her.
Cosgrove! The first time I ever saw Aaron Stanton (maybe two years back) I didn't know his real name only his character on the show so I said, "Cosgrove can you sign an autograph", he smiled and came right over. I added Aaron to both my cast shots tonight.
Christina Hendricks has been really really nice about signing every time I've seen her in the last year and a half. In fact, I think she has a legitimate chance of being on my "Best Signers of the Year" list when I make it. She signed at multiple occasions of the night, took pictures with fans, and was really nice about it all. I got her on some individuals, a combo shot, and all my cast shots.
Here's the Christina Elisabeth combo I completed:
